Endangered Species (CITES) (see 16 

U.S.C. 1538(e)). 

This IC includes the following permit/ 

license application forms: 

(1) FWS Form 3-200-2 (Designated 

Port Exception Permit). Under 50 CFR 

14.11, it is unlawful to import or export 

wildlife or wildlife products at ports 

other than those designated in 50 CFR 

14.12 unless you qualify for an 

exception. These exceptions allow 

qualified individuals, businesses, or 

scientific organizations to import or 

export wildlife or wildlife products at a 

nondesignated port: 

(a) When the wildlife or wildlife 

products will be used as scientific 

specimens. 

(b) To minimize deterioration or loss. 

(c) To relieve economic hardship. 

To request an import or export of 

wildlife or wildlife products at 

nondesignated ports, applicants must 

complete FWS Form 3-200-2. 

Designated port exception permits are 

valid for 2 years. 

(2) FWS Form 3-200-3 (Import/Export 

License). It is unlawful to import or 

export wildlife or wildlife products for 

commercial purposes without first 

obtaining an import/export license (50 

CFR 14.91). Applicants must complete 

FWS Form 3-200-3 to request this 

license. We use the information that we 

collect on the application as an 

enforcement tool and management aid 

to: (a) Monitor the international wildlife 

market and (b) detect trends and 

changes in the commercial trade of 

wildlife and wildlife products. Import/ 

export licenses are valid for 1 year. 

We require import/export licensees to 

maintain records that accurately 

describe each importation or 

exportation of wildlife or wildlife 

products made under the license, and 

any additional sale or transfer of the 

wildlife or wildlife products. In 

addition, licensees must make these 

records and the corresponding 

inventory of wildlife or wildlife 

products available for our inspection at 

reasonable times, subject to applicable 

limitations of law. We believe the 

burden associated with these 

recordkeeping requirements is minimal 

because the records already exist. 

Importers and exporters must complete 

FWS Form 3-177 (Declaration for 

Importation or Exportation of Fish or 

Wildlife) for all imports or exports of 

wildlife or wildlife products. This form 

provides an accurate description of the 

imports and exports. OMB has approved 

the information collection for FWS 

Form 3-177 and assigned OMB Control 

Number 1018-0012, which expires 

January 31, 2010. Normal business 

practices should produce records (e.g., 

invoices or bills of sale) needed to 

document additional sales or transfers 

of the wildlife or wildlife products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge 

is located in Pima and Yuma Counties 

in southwestern Arizona. This 860,010 

acre Refuge is comprised of several 

northwest to southeast trending 

mountain ranges separated by broad 

alluvial valleys. Located in the heart of 

the Sonoran Desert, the Refuge’s 

habitats support a diversity of desert 

wildlife. 

Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife 

Refuge was withdrawn from the public 

domain by Executive Order 8038 in 

1939, and set apart ‘‘* * * for the 

conservation and development of 

natural wildlife resources, and for the 

protection and improvement of public 

grazing lands and natural forage 

resources * * * Provided, however, that 

all the forage resources in excess of that 

required to maintain a balanced wildlife 

population within this range or preserve 

should be available for livestock.’’ When 

the last grazing leases on the Refuge 

expired in 1981 the grazing purpose of 

the Refuge was no longer valid. The 

Arizona Desert Wilderness Act of 1990 

designated 803,418 acres of the Refuge, 

or approximately 93 percent of the 

Refuge area, as federal wilderness. 

The National Wildlife Refuge System 

Administration Act of 1966, as amended 

by the National Wildlife Refuge System 

Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C. 

668dd–668ee et seq.), requires the 

Service to develop a CCP for each 

National Wildlife Refuge. The purpose 

of developing CCPs is to provide refuge 

managers with a 15-year strategy for 

achieving refuge purposes and 

contributing toward the mission of the 

National Wildlife Refuge System, 

consistent with sound principles of fish 

and wildlife science, conservation, legal 

mandates, and Service policies. In 

addition to outlining broad management 

direction on conserving wildlife and 

their habitats, the CCPs identify 

wildlife-dependent recreational 

opportunities available to the public, 

including opportunities for hunting, 

fishing, wildlife observation and 

photography, and environmental 

education and interpretation. These 

CCPs will be reviewed and updated at 

least every 15 years in accordance with 

the National Wildlife Refuge System 

Administration Act of 1966, as amended 

by the National Wildlife Refuge System 

Improvement Act of 1997. 

The availability of Cabeza Prieta 

National Wildlife Refuge’s Draft CCP, 

WSP and EIS for public review and 

comment was announced in the Federal 

Register on March 16, 2005 (70 FR 

12895–12896), the comment period 

closed on August 15, 2005. The Draft 

CCP, WSP and EIS propose and evaluate 

five management alternatives for the 

Refuge. All management alternatives 

implement recovery actions for the 

Endangered Sonoran pronghorn. The 

alternatives differ primarily in the level 

of active management intervention 

proposed to support the desert bighorn 

sheep. The first alternative is ‘‘no 

action’’ or continuance of current 

Refuge management. Under this 

alternative, the Refuge would continue 

to offer a limited desert bighorn sheep 

hunt each year in cooperation with the 

Arizona Game and Fish Department. 

Refuge staff would continue to maintain 

and supply supplemental water to 

existing developed waters in desert 

bighorn sheep habitat. The second 

alternative focuses on limiting 

management interventions within 

Refuge wilderness. Under this 

alternative, developed wildlife waters in 

sheep habitat within the Refuge 

wilderness would not be maintained or 

supplied with supplemental water. The 

desert bighorn sheep hunt would also be 

discontinued. The third alternative 

includes limited management 

intervention in wilderness. Under this 

alternative, the Refuge would supply 

supplemental water to developed waters 

in sheep habitat within Refuge 

wilderness only during periods of 

severe drought. The desert bighorn 

sheep hunt would be continued, but no 

hunting would be allowed during years 

of severe drought. The fourth 

alternative, identified as the Service’s 

preferred alternative, would allow 

continued maintenance and water 

supply to existing developed waters in 

sheep habitat within Refuge wilderness 

and would include projects to increase 

the water collection efficiency of such 

waters. The Refuge desert bighorn sheep 

hunt program would continue 

unchanged under this alternative. The 

fifth alternative would include the 

maximum management intervention 

within Refuge wilderness. Under this 

alternative all existing developed waters 

in Refuge wilderness would be 

maintained and supplied with water, 

and new developed waters would be 

created. The desert bighorn sheep hunt 

program would continue unchanged 

under this alternative.
